volunteer labor for these spei ia!
events mav not exist next year."
said Larry Neal, head of the
RTMD.
The department w ill become
an interdisciplinary program
under the Si bool of Architec

The department is being
restructured, under the order of
the administration, to alleviate
budget cuts. Several depart
ments have been restructured
similarly or cut.
The emphasis of the new
RTMD program will probably
veer away from the services and
special events that the old
leisure studies department

IRONICALLY, THE TIME TO START
SAVING FOR RETIREMENT IS WHEN IT LOOKS
LIKE YOU CAN LEAST AFFORD IT.
Can't afford tt) save lor retirement?
The truth it,you can't afford not to.
Not when you realize that your retirement
can latt to to 30 veart or more. You’ll want
to live at least as comfortably then as you
do now. And that takes planning.
By starting to save now. you can take
advantage of tax-deferral and give your
money time to compound and grow.
Consider this: set aside just $100 each
month beginning at age 30 and you can
accumulate over $154,1)31* by the time
you reach age ♦»%- But wait ten years and
you'll have to budget $xtt each month
to reach the same goal.
Even if you’re not counting the years to
retirement,you can count on TIAA-CREF
to Kelpyou build the future you deserve—
with flexible retirement and tax-deferred
annuity plans, a diverse portfolio of invest
ment choices, and a record of personal
service that spans 75years.
Over a million people in education and
research put TIAA-CREF at the top of
their list for retirement planning. Why not
join them?
Call today and learn how simple it is
to build a secure tomorrow when you
have time anti TIAA-CREF working on
your side.
